A number, a variable or the product of them Monomial: Example: Polynomial: Binomial: Trinomial: Standard form: Degree of Monomial: Degree of Polynomial: Coefficient: Leading Coefficient: Constant: Sum of Monomials Polynomial of two terms Polynomial of three terms Polynomial terms are written in descending order of exponents The sum of the exponents in the term The largest degree (or exponent) in the polynomial Number in front of a variable (Note! Ones are invisible) In standard form, it is the first coefficient Plain number, no variables attached (found at the end in standard form)
